Chapter 38: The Fortress
Reignor, Ryuu, Wagner,Hera, Jasmine, Jared, and Kuzo flew over the lands, trying to find the next fertile ground. "where could it be?" Ryuu wondered. "I'm trying to use my powers to find it, but its kind of hard" Darla said with her eyes closed. "I think i found it" Wagner said. They all looked to where Wagner was looking at and saw a large fortress with a beam of light coming out of it. "that was easy" Ryuu said. They landed just outside the fortress and looked at the entrance. "Damn, that's a lot of minions he has" Ryuu said, seeing the army of shadow minions outside the fortress. "Anyone got any ideas?" Jared asked. "Hmm..." Reingor snapped his fingers "i got an idea, Hera, give my my phone" Reignor said as Hera gave him his cellphone.
He dialed a few numbers and it rang. "Hello?" a voice asked. "Yo Artix, it's me" Reignor said. "Reignor! how you been man?" Artix asked. "Fine, listen, we need some help getting into a fortress surrounded by Shadow minions from the Fallen Ones, think you can help?" Reignor asked. "Say no more, I'm on my way" Artix said. "Cool, oh and tell Cysero he owes me for that bet i won" Reignor said. "Got it" Artix said and Reignor ended the call. "Who was that?" Ryuu asked. "Ever play DragonFable or AdventureQuest?" Reingor asked. "Yeah, why?" Ryuu asked.
"Then you should know who that was" Reignor smirked. "No way, you're friends with Artix von Krieger?!" Ryuu asked with shock. "Yep, he and i go way back, since he's a paladin, i asked him to help us" Reignor said. "Where is he?" Wagner asked. Suddenly they saw a large explosion near the entrace to the fortress. "I take it he's there" Jared said. They all went to the explosion and found a man with brown hair, brown eyes, wielding a large axe and armor complete with a red cape battling the shadow minions. "Yo Artix!" Reignor called as they battled their way to him. "Reignor! glad you came" Artix said as he chopped another soldier in half. "Yeah, come on, we gotta take that fortress" Reignor said.
Soon the entire group, including Artix, fought their way into the fortress. Reignor blasted down the door and destroyed the soldiers behind it. "Man, this brings back memories of when we invaded the Nercropolis and took out Noxus" Artix said. "Yeah, you still got that hammer with you?" Reignor asked. "You mean this?" Artix asked, pulling out a giant hammer that was twice his size. "Whoa...i don't even wanna mess with him" Ryuu muttered. "come on, we have a Fallen to defeat" Reignor said.
The group ran into the fortress, destroying soldiers and guards in their wake. "why would a fertile ground be in here?" Ryuu asked as they ran along the hallways. "I suspect this place holds some weird powers, or Rezo found this and made a fortress to guard it" Reignor said. "Or Sepulchure is working with them" Artix said. "Didn't he get killed by Drakath?" Reignor asked. Artix face-faulted to the ground. "Oh right, i forgot heheh" Artix scratched the back of his head in embarrassment. Reignor smacked his forehead and shook his head. "Come on, we need to find Rezo, i sense he and the ground are in the throne room" Darla said.
"How can you sense this ground your talking about?" Artix asked. "Long story, come on we need to get to the throne room" Ryuu said and took off. They followed him and reached the throne room. Inside they found the fertile ground and Rezo as well. "Good, you showed up..." Rezo looked at Artix with some confusion. "who's he?" he asked. "My name is Artix von Krieger, and i' here to slay you and your kind!" Artix said and pointed his axe at Rezo. Rezo chuckled, then started to laugh. "You? A mere human defeat me! You're funny, but i bet you never saw this!" Rezo said as his body began to transform.
Suddenly, a pair of black feathered wings appeared from his back, his body was soon covered in feathers and talons extended from his nails, his mouth was now a beak that snapped meanicingly. "Whoa, didn't see that coming" Artix said. "Looks like we got a fight on our hands" Ryuu said and pulled out his sword. Rezo let out a loud screech and flew at them.
